Create: A New Musical Workshop

Have you struggled finding shows to fit your students and your community? Shows that are appropriate, engaging, and fit the demographic of your students?

Millennial Musicals is looking for one high school in the Fall of 2018 to host a New Musical Workshop.

What is a New Musical Workshop?The workshop would start in the beginning of 2018. We would have a discussion about your school: your students, your volunteers, and your resources. A show would be written that tailor-fits your school from cast size and demographic makeup, show length, production volunteers, to even the size of your stage.

How We Fit YouBeyond the cast, we fit the show to your production strengths and weaknesses as well. Do you have dozens of costumers and make up artist volunteers, but little to no help with set? We can emphasize with the production a focus on costumes and makeup and have a very minimal set. Do you have a stage where you have very little space, but you have a hundred students participating in your productions? We can work on writing scenes that feature a lot of ensemble acting, but not all of the ensembles at one time.

How We Engage CommunitiesWe would talk about specific issues that face your community and your students. All schools and cities face challenges, and the musical could reflect those challenges head on or in an abstract way. Your musical would be accomplishing what art is supposed to: start a dialogue on issues that matter to your school and your city.

Do Something UniqueCreate a public survey! Give the people ideas or let people write down their own ideas as to what kind of show they would like to see. We will write a show that is based on that prompt. Talk about engaging a community of people and building an audience base larger that just parents.

All-Inclusive LicenseYour production would receive all materials, with unlimited copying rights for your school, including audio recordings, scripts, and scores. You would also receive a recording license to video and audio record your production and be able to sell without any upfront costs.

A Lifetime Production LicenseThe show we create you would have a lifetime license for to produce and perform at your specific school.

Optional: Music DirectionThe composer/writer of your show could even come and music direct your students for your production if needed, or you could have a residency with teh composer Jonathan Smith where he could teach acting techniques, talk about the creation of the show, and host classes about how to write your own material.

2018 Inaugural Year SpecialIn this inaugural year, we will be giving a special price for this experience. For a fully unique theatrical production, tailor-made to your school, with an unlimited digital license for materials, a recording license, and a lifetime production license for your school will only cost $1,500 for a 1-act production, or $2,500 for a 2-act production. For an additional $500-2,000 Jonathan Smith will come for a residency (depending on the length of the residency, from one weekend to two weeks).
